Caulcott: your questions answered
Can you do air source heat pumps in Caulcott?
We do: Caulcott falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Caulcott?
Caulcott is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Caulcott
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Caulcott and the rest of Oxfordshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. If you are dealing with working out where a cylinder could go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.
In a place like Caulcott, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

The process
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Caulcott easier.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Advice
Homes in Caulcott and heat pumps
There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Caulcott. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Cherwell council, usually the planning authority here. About 34% of homes in and around Caulcott have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to Heyford Park Chapel can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

System by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so the work is clear.
What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What you get with us
- Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires
- One contact for properties across the South East and London
After we have gone
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Seal draughts where you can
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
